Thieboudienne: Senegal's national dish - Red Rice With Fish And Vegetables

Thieboudienne is the national dish of Senegal. It is made with rice, fish and vegetables. All the ingredients are simmered in a delicious broth that tastes of aromatics, tomatoes and fish. We also use a very fragrant mollusk, the yet.

This has to be one of my favorite versions of this dish! The time you took and detail you provided was inspiring. I just love seeing another person who loves cooking world cuisine for the joy of it and it’s so heartwarming to see what I perceived as an Asian woman, with a French accent, making a West African dish that I, as a woman of similar differences, love recreating meals and the memories I love from around the world. Thanks for sharing 🥰Can wait to watch more of your videos ❤

Oh my Lord! I thought Senegal fish stew was fish, tomato, garlic and chili peppers served over rice. This is like building a space ship!
Well, I think I am going to make a basic fish stew INFLUENCED by theboudine. I did buy garlic, fish sauce, tamarind, tilapia (filet -- I can't have food looking at me) and 🌶️ chilis. When I'm done, I'll make the rice in the remaining broth as that seems like the most important difference with my usual cooking. I'm very impressed with the cooking skills of Papa T!
